This is one of my favourite recipes with truffles. I am not usually a sweet tooth but there is something so delicious about the combination of flavours with the dark chocolate and creamy goodness that go so well with black truffle. This is easy to adapt to your preferred tiramisu recipe but it is a good guideline to start with.
NOTE: Infuse eggs and mascarpone with black truffle 1—3 days prior to making
